Artist's Comments

Alright. First lets get this clear.
What this symbolizes is the many many Christians- or any other religous group, I'm focusing on Christians because, well, I am one and also its kind of hard to make the Star of David with a tube of lipstick and a butterfly. MacGuyver might be able to, but I'm not Richard Dean Anderson.

ANYWAY... its meant to be those people who preach and boost about how pius they are, and you know there are people like that, but for some reason or another seem to miss the moral/ethical point of the whole shabang.

Please disect.

** Yes, I am aware of the scratch marks on the image, I've tried to clean the scanner but it hasn't helped. ... just imagine they aren't there? ^^;

Its my take on -some- Christians (or any other religous group) not acting the way the Bible says one should act ethically (ei: rude little son-a'ma-guns) but, instead, using their religion as a kind of bragging right.

"I'm so _____ because I follow _____ and you don't/don't follow _____ like/to the extent of me."

Most people don't act that, but its not about normal people. Its about the badies. You're cool. :)

I like the way it has symbolism rather than just putting them in the form of the cross and saying..."it's Christian!" Though with that I guess you could say that there are a lot of different beliefs and ideas that go in and are categorized by Christianity and they...umm...all get bunched together? I don't know.

Hey, i getchya now ^_^ And thanks for calling me cool :D I agree with your point here. Some people just join religions because its the "in" thing, like how people brought the charity wristbands cause they were "cool". Dont think its the case with christianity in the UK at the moment, at least not where i live. But at least it hasnt got to the point that i'm shunned at school cause of it ^_^;
